Dialogue before Finishing ACT I
Hey there! I’m Mo, on loan from the Air Force, and let me tell you - Counter Hack is the best job I have ever had!
There is something in the works. Come see me later and we will talk. Can’t say much right now, but check back later. You might be interested.
Dialogue after Finishing ACT I
So here’s our situation: those gnomes have been sending JavaScript-enabled emails to everyone in the neighborhood, and it’s causing chaos.
We had to shut down all the email clients because they weren’t blocking the malicious scripts - kind of like how we’d ground aircraft until we clear a security threat.
The only safe way to access the email server now is through curl - yes, the HTTP tool!
Think you can help me use curl to connect to the IMAP server and hunt down one of these gnome emails?
Dialogue after solving the challenge
Outstanding work! You’ve mastered using curl for IMAP - that’s some serious command-line skills that would make any Air Force tech proud.
Counter Hack really is the best job I have ever had, especially when we get to solve problems like this!
Dialogue after completing HHC2025
Outstanding! You’ve cleared every security threat with Air Force precision - Counter Hack really IS the best, especially with teammates like you!
